It's A Heat Wave

 A group called "Lothar and the Hand People" did a song on an album released ever so many years ago called "Heat Wave". And here we are with a heat wave across most of the state! Well, it just goes to show-- something. The distinctive thing about that group was the use of a theramin. You've heard those if you've ever watched a science fiction movie made back in the fifties. I don't think any other group ever used one of those in a putative rock band before, or since, The Hand People. On a lighter note, it is so very clear that human "civilization" (hahahaha) as we know it is not sustainable. 

Between Post and Gail, above. It might not look much like that anymore. It might be more like a desert now. 

Exploitation of fossil fuel on a massive scale was the beginning of the end. Transition to nuclear and solar and wind should have occurred early on, as soon as feasible, but that didn't happen, for various reasons, and now it's too late. I'm pretty sure it's too late. I'm pretty sure that humanity's goose is cooked. Are we going to be a multi-planet species? Not bloody likely. We couldn't even be a successful single planet species.
